The case first came to light in December 2010 when a police officer and his dog were searching for a missing woman and stumbled upon the remains of Shannan Gilbert, a sex worker who had disappeared earlier that year. As the investigation progressed, additional sets of remains were found in the same area, leading authorities to believe they had stumbled upon a serial killer's dumping ground.Over the course of the investigation, the remains of a total of at least 10 victims, mainly female sex workers, were discovered. The victims were identified as follows:

1. Maureen Brainard-Barnes: She was a 25-year-old woman from Connecticut who went missing in July 2007. Her remains were found in December 2010.
2. Melissa Barthelemy: She was a 24-year-old woman from New York who disappeared in July 2009. Her remains were also discovered in December 2010.
3. Megan Waterman: She was a 22-year-old woman from Maine who went missing in June 2010. Her remains were found in December 2010.
4. Amber Lynn Costello: She was a 27-year-old woman from North Carolina who went missing in September 2010. Her remains were discovered in December 2010.
5. Shannan Gilbert: She was a 24-year-old sex worker from New Jersey who disappeared in May 2010. Her disappearance initially led to the discovery of the other victims' remains.
